Drowning & Medically Fragile Life
Manage episode 493203297 series 3601560
Sue recounts the horror of her precious toddler, Luke, getting out of his gate and drowning in their backyard pool. She will describe who found him, who performed CPR and how long it was before he showed any signs of life.
While Luke was able to eventually return to their home it wasn't without 24/7 nursing care. She explains how 4 members of their family members were able to get training so they could manage the many "layers of hard" that was ahead.
So many ripple effects came with the impossible balancing act of raising 7 children in the midst of Luke's constant therapies, hospital stays and countless sleepless nights.
At 18 years of age Luke passed away after a vacation that he got to see all of his brothers and sisters. Sue tenderly shares the last few minutes of his life.
